Additive identity refers to the property that when any number is added to zero, the original number remains the same. This is important as it provides the foundation for basic algebra and helps define zero by demonstrating that it has no value when added to other numbers. For example, 2 + 0 = 2 and X + 0 = X, showing that adding zero leaves the original number unchanged.
